Dear friends,

This week's puzzle is a 2/5 difficulty offering from the duo of Oliva Mitra Framke and Sally Hoelscher, who (as you'll read below) are celebrating a cool milestone with this puzzle, which is called "Spill the Beans."

Sally and Olivia first met when they joined the Lil AVCX editing team in 2023. Since then, they've become long-distance friends and crossword collaborators - Sally lives in Iowa City (with her husband Randy and cat Willow) and Olivia lives in Jersey City (with her girlfriend Rae, dog Charlie, and cat Whiskey). This puzzle marks their 25th byline as a duo!

The AVCX Classic submission cycle for May-June is officially closed, as we've reached our submission capacity. Thanks to everyone who sent us a puzzle! We're working through the stack at a good clip so you should hear from us soon, if you sent us work. Our appreciation in the meantime.
Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
